Ex-judge of the Supreme COURT of Chechnya Yangulbaev left the country after his wife was taken to Grozny and threatened by Kadyrov

A former judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya and the father of human rights activist Ibragim Yangulbaev, suspected of creating a TELEGRAM channel recognized in the republic as extremist, Saidi Yangulbaev left Russia with his daughter Aliya. The decision was made after the Chechen security forces forcibly took his wife Zarema Musaeva from Nizhny Novgorod to Grozny, and the HEAD of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that the family "waiting for a place in prison or underground."

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, accused the Yangulbaevs of supporting terrorism and said that they could be involved in organizing an attack on a former Chechen security official in Turkey. Therefore, according to Kadyrov, they should be detained, and in case of resistance, "destroyed." Chechen Minister for National Policy, Foreign Relations, Press and Information Akhmed Dudayev said that the attention of human rights activists and the press to this story is connected with the nationality of the police officers who carried out the arrest. According to him, the detained Musayeva was a witness in the case of fraud, but ignored several summonses demanding to appear before the investigator at the place of residence. The judge's son, Abubakar Yangulbaev, in response to Kadyrov's statement, told RBC that the accusations were based on unsubstantiated words. “About beating an employee. According to the information which was posted by Telegram channels, he was caught by Chechens who emigrated to Turkey and committed lynching for his actions as an employee,” he said. Later, he said that two families of his relatives from Grozny stopped communicating. “Perhaps they were gathered for an action practiced in Chechnya to condemn a person by relatives,” suggested Yangulbaev. The EU asked to release Musayeva and "put an end to the persecution of human rights defenders and their families."
